Dear Hank Williams
“Williams, AFTER MY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, Aunt Patty Cake made me practice the piano every single day except Sunday. She was hoping to change my mind about entering the singing part. More than a few times, she said, “You might think about playing a song on the piano, Tate. That’s where you have the most experience.”
The only song I could play on the piano was “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” and I was not going to let Verbia Calhoon have the satisfaction of hearing me play that in front of the audience. It doesn’t matter how you jazz up that song, it still sounds like a silly kiddy tune. But I keep Aunt Patty Cake happy by showing up at Mrs. Applebud’s every day after school and playing those stupid scales.
And almost every day Mrs. Applebud says to me, “I could wait and go over to the cemetery later in the day, if you would want to go with me.” And when she says that, I say, “No, ma’am. Thank you, kindly.” I don’t have plans to take up cemetery walking as a hobby.
